Dear 1st Families:
Wow - what an amazing start to 1st grade music. The students have been very busy bees working hard to learn the songs & dances to the 1st Grader musical - "Pajama Party!" Please help your kids work on memorizing their lines & lyrics to the songs! I am so very proud of the way your beautiful kids are working together. We started this concert work with an SEL check in. We talked about our excitement & anxiety around preparing a huge production. We have worked every week on Performance Anxiety regulation techniques! I have shared some of these in the Google Drive below. Together we have set educational and emotional goals to provide all students with equal access to a safe environment to share their talents with each other & soon....with you! (Concert is January 23, 1 PM in Sellman)

Also- we will be adding updates - so this script is the most updated version to use to practice from - so please check back to make sure your child is practicing the most updated version.
